Arlen Specter, lying spineless wretch
This earlier post includes an update on the (apparently) erroneous story in the Washington Post, the story that said Specter's legislation would give amnesty to those who broke the law against warrantless domestic spying. The story was thought to be erroneous because Specter clearly and specifically said it was wrong. Well, Specter was lying through his teeth. This is not a total surprise—he's a Republican, after all—but it is sort of amazing that he still commands any respect whatsoever. Read Greenwald's post at the link. It will make you shake your head.
